This is a cool idea. Much easier than mine of getting three computers. > EAC and dbPowerAmp are currently the only supported rippers. But they only seem to support those rippers on Windows, which goes against my open source religion. So I've asked their support forum about how to get other rippers on the list. It looks like doing validation of the checksums is possible, but they are, justifiably, paranoid about bad implementations polluting their data. This would be fine with me, as all I really care about is that other people get the same results as I do. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
